Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about SimpLy Gallery
Yes. The core gallery blocks, mixed media gallery workflow, albums, and lightbox features are available in the free plugin.
You can create galleries with images, self-hosted MP4 video, MP3 audio, YouTube, Vimeo, and VideoPress content.
Yes. For self-hosted video items, open the item menu in the Items Manager and choose Add Poster. You can select an image from the WordPress Media Library or capture a frame from the video. When a frame is used, SimpLy Gallery creates a new WordPress media attachment and uses it as the video poster.
A poster image gives native HTML5 video a reliable preview before playback. It improves the visitor experience, avoids forcing the browser to load the first video frame as a preview, and can help with compatibility on mobile devices and older browsers.
No. Video galleries are thumbnail-first. SimpLy Gallery creates the actual YouTube or Vimeo embed only for the active video, then stops and replaces it when another video is selected. This works for manually added YouTube and Vimeo videos in the free plugin, including lightbox playback.
The free plugin includes 8 WordPress gallery blocks: Masonry, Justified, Grid, Slider / Carousel, Viewer, Albums, Album Navigator, and Saved SimpLy Gallery.
Yes. SimpLy Gallery Blocks is built around WordPress gallery blocks and is designed to be edited directly inside the WordPress block editor.
Yes. Saved SimpLy galleries can be reused as public gallery pages, shortcodes, Saved SimpLy Gallery blocks, Elementor widgets, or inside Albums and Album Navigator layouts.
Yes. SimpLy Gallery supports the native WordPress block transform workflow. You can transform a WordPress Gallery block into a SimpLy Gallery layout such as Masonry, Justified, Grid, Slider / Carousel, or Viewer without rebuilding the gallery content from scratch. You can also transform a SimpLy Gallery block back into the native WordPress Gallery block when needed.
Standard galleries are static by default, similar to native WordPress gallery blocks. Gallery content is saved with the post and updates when you edit the gallery in the WordPress admin. PRO dynamic modes can rebuild gallery content from supported sources and cache the result for a custom number of hours per block.
